Does heat treatment matter more than knife hardness? Can you have a bad heat treatment with good hardness? Where is the performance difference? Does edge retention suffer from a high hardness but a bad heat treatment? These are all questions I wanted answers to. So I made 3 knives one with a good heat treatment and 2 with progressively bad heat treatments. All three had the same rockwell hardness (60.5-61hc). I was definitely surprised by my findings.
